Test Execution

Running Tests

# Run unit accessibility tests
cd novaRewards/frontend
npm test -- accessibility.test.js

# Run E2E accessibility tests
npm run test:a11y

# Run all tests
npm test && npm run test:a11y

CI/CD Integration

Accessibility tests are configured to run in the CI pipeline:

# In .github/workflows/ci.yml
- name: Run accessibility tests
  run: |
    cd novaRewards/frontend

    npm run test:a11y

Tests will fail the build if critical or serious WCAG violations are detected.
